Grilled Pizza.


Before I begin, let me just say that today will probably be the only time there are two posts in the same day but I seem to be slightly inspired this evening. It could be because all of my creative juices are flowing from starting this second blog, or it could be because we had grilled pizza for dinner tonight that was amazing and {not to toot my own horn or anything} but I made the dough from scratch and it turned out great! So, without further adieu, here is my first food post.

Garlic Alfredo, Spinach, Mozzarella and Chicken pizza
(bare with me, I will come up with a more creative name) 

Made from scratch grilled pizza
Seriously, this was the most delicious {and healthy} pizza I have eaten in ages. I knew I had met my soul mate when I found someone who could eat devour a pizza as quickly as I could. So, to be able to do it guilt-free...well let's just say I was in pizza heaven.

Pre-grilled.

Handsome man.


why yes, that is water in a wine glass. I like to keep it classy even when there is no drinkable wine in the house. A fantastically delicious and filling meal. I can't wait to try more grilled pizzas!

Last but not least, Little Man loved the pizza. So much so, that I suppose he wanted to keep it all warm by shoving the entire part of his pizza in his mouth all at the same time!


There are a few things I will be doing differently after Christmas {when I will be getting my kitchen aid mixer... a true tool of beauty} I won't have to mix all the dough completely by hand with help from a whisk. What should have taken me 5 minutes actually ended up taking 20 minutes. So, 20 minutes and a sore hand later, my dough still wasn't my version of "perfect" but it was close enough.

All in all, this meal was a complete success...everyone should try it! p.s-Dad, K will be asking for you to grill this when she gets back home to you...so be ready!






Second Blog. Post One.

Why a second blog? Well, there are several reasons I have decided to start this blog and although I am not sure why I feel brave enough at the moment to tackle two blogs (one of which I am terribly behind on) at the same time, I am confident that this blog with do three major things. One. Keep memories in mostly words -rather than mostly pictures- as in my other blog. We will have these digital letters to look back on for forever. Two. Keep our families a little more updated on our every day life as a family and not just Little Man. Three. {and this one is the toughest to admit} This second blog is my crazy attempt to break my habit of checking social networking sites...yikes, did I really just type that? YES! Facebook has got to go! So with that said, this blog will more than likely now be the best way to keep up with the Swineharts'.
  -Now, you should do one thing for us. Take your mouse and 'do whatcha gotta do' to save this blog as a favorite :) Bookmark it and blog creep away. Really, you have our permission!
